Great Journey ๐Ÿด Day 646

great journey ๐Ÿด day 646 after a cosy night directly at the kingbarns

After a comfortable night right on Kingbarns Beach, directly with sea view and yes, also with a lot of wind and rain flying in sideways (that's how you want beach walks, isn't it?) we roll into St. Andrews.

Slowly the rain moves on and we stroll through the small town on dry feet. We notice once again that the inner cities have little greenery. We hardly find any trees at all.

All the more we enjoy the gardens or the little wild growth that does not fall prey to the British "everything-must-be-shorn-uniformly" desire.

St Andrews also has history, of course. And what a history it is. On our tour, however, we discover that all the historic buildings are surrounded by construction fences because of the risk of collapse and are therefore closed to us. Nevertheless, we can catch many glimpses and Gigi (who is now TripTastic)Our faithful reading app (we have to run it in English by now, it has much more information here) tells us everything we should know. Unfortunately, it also tells us everything we are not interested in, thousands of years, all the bishops chronologically and by name, and all the rubbish we couldn't remember in history class.

On the beach we see the students of the renowned St. Leonards College surfing and learn that surfing can lead to study points here. We have done something wrong.

We stroll through our first real Scottish town, find the Scottish English dialect quite enchanting (enchanted?) and think that smiling instead of understanding the language will get you pretty far.
